Dr. Eric Coontz graduated from Loyola University School of Dentistry in Chicago where he obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Upon graduation, Dr. Coontz spent the next three years on active duty as a general dentist in the U. S. Army. He then completed a residency in periodontics at Loyola University School of Dentistry. He also received a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology. Dr. Coontz has practiced both in the private sector, as well as, in public health with the Indian Health Service and the Veterans Health Administration.

Dr. Coontz is acutely aware of the affect of sleep apnea on heart health. He suffered a heart attack that was most likely associated with his sleep apnea. He is on a mission to assist patients with their sleep-disordered breathing and perhaps prevent associated heart attacks. Dr. Coontz works closely with the patient’s physician in successfully treating a patient’s sleep apnea. “I know how successful oral appliance therapy can be in the management of sleep apnea, since I have been a patient. I want to be able to share my successes with patients.”

Dr. Coontz enjoys traveling with his family to exotic lands and embracing all that different cultures offer. Photography and reading are his favorite past-time activities.
